Late tonight the many fans of Team Fortress 2 will get their latest free content update. Soon Valve's multiplayer shooter will add at least three new weapons-items for the Demoman class and another three for the Soldier class. For the past week the two classes have been waging a war to kill each other in online matches. The winning side will get to control a extra secret item that will also be added to the update. In the latest war report the kill gap has closed considerably which means it's pretty much anyone's game at this point.
The latest post on the TF2 site reveals all the new achievements for the Demoman and Soldier classes. Two more Soldier items were also announced. One is the Equalizer which looks like a pick ax to us but that may just be our imagination. This melee weapon increases its damage and makes you move faster when you take more and more damage. The other new item is the Buff Banner which when set in the secondary item slot will let teammates get mini-crits for a brief period when the Soldiers uses it. The Demoman's third new weapon is the Scottish Resistance which fires out twice as many sticky bombs as the regular weapon although it does have a longer priming rate.
While you wait for Valve to update TF2, check out the winners of their poster propoganda contest. The winners get some unique in-game items for their trouble and we also hope Valve sells the winners as posters in their online store. They are pretty sweet.

It's not your imagination. It even says so on the Soldier update page that it's a pickaxe.
